Stock trading tips revealed with market expert Howie Day-Trader of The Short Selling Academy. I interview Howie and he tells his strategies for making impressive profits by shorting the VIX through TVIX and UVXY, and how his biggest gains (and your biggest gains too) can come from Facebook stock. Plus, Howie explains his how to position yourself for maximum success by trading market volatility. welcome everybody to looking at
the markets with David Moadel and today
we have a special guest super special
guest he's known to the facebook and
Internet community as how we day trader
and he has an amazing amazing facebook
group with plenty of members but I i'm
guessing he's got room for more
yeah we have about the 2,000 right now
and always looking for more
how's it going everybody awesome well
welcome Howie to looking at the markets
with David motel and you know I i really
appreciate coming by today it's nice to
be here thank you sir
alright well what I'd like to do is pick
your brain a little bit because you are
known as how a day trader for a reason
you're day trading skills are quite
impressive to say the least and you're
not one of those guys that just posts
trades that you already made and brag
about him yet you post the trades before
you make them
yeah the anybody could put their trades
after its view of poster trades before
you know I think that's what counts
that is hugely important and so you're
not just talking you're living the
lifestyle which I really admire for that
are so tell me if you don't mind in the
viewers about the short selling Academy
what we do is we post the you know what
we focus on short selling but we do
welcome long positions also and also
options trading and do focus on shorting
the Vics products such as a to fix and
UBS way
yep yeah I don't notice that that you
specialize it's not all you do but
obviously but you you specialize in that
and you know well this here at this year
mostly focusing on shorting those two
and just going long on facebook
yeah okay that's an interesting mix
there and very specific but you know
what it's better to be a successful
specialist than a jack-of-all-trades to
doesn't succeed in anything so I think
that's pretty cool
what's up a 22-percent this year most
because of a facebook
Wow and my portfolio my day trading
portfolio i do actually do do long-term
investing also okay okay very cool now
and and when he says this year please
note folks it's only January 23rd so
that's that's pretty impressive to say
the least 20 * also you know the it
started a january third and there was
two off days already
yeah yep couple holidays in there so you
know what is that like maybe 15 trading
days so far something like that that's
pretty active yeah if that
yep yep why did you specifically choose
to focus mostly on volatility products
it's actually interesting story it's a
basically because they're from a credits
with citibank you know credit suisse see
John and all the products that are
ripping people off or from them so i'm
just getting back at them starting the
shortening their products but basically
it does is its program to go to zero and
then we were split again it's just like
a pinball machine but it goes straight
down if you could just buy it you know
after it goes up and short it you're
guaranteed to make money and i have to
do is just be patient and you know the
market does crash you stopped to have a
enough money for backup
you can't go all in at once you have to
buy government's right right now I think
that's true of almost any product but
specifically with these especially with
these four
and then I also you know I do tell
people to just start with the pixels at
15
yeah like right now it's you know around
12 yeah I'll been for the amateur i
would even suggest even even starting it
right now
right right you know I i perfectly i
personally shorted uvx what and civics
today and made about 1,800 bugs it up or
like a more advanced nice very nice
and did you in case we haven't mentioned
it again and will mention it later on if
people want to you know get in on this
action and follow your trades and of
course these are not you know we're not
telling people how to trade what to do
what not to do
it's just it's just if they want to
watch and laser of these are actually
just suggestions and another on my page
it says the console consult your
financial advisor
that's right that's right so we're
definitely and I say this I i put a
disclaimer in every video i do and i'll
certainly put one on this one you know
we're not here to tell you what to do or
what not to do but the poor kid the
market could go up and down at any
second it crashes and you know this is
real high risk of you could lose all
your money if you do a row right exactly
so and will mention this again toward
the end but if people want to find you
and also of course i'll put links on the
YouTube how can they follow you and your
trades
oh that's the the short selling academy
it's on facebook
all you have to do is just a second
request in the gladly accept it
yep yep I found out that's true and you
know it it's the more the merrier
you know when it comes to these facebook
you know some of them are very exclusive
but but how it's been really great about
you know help and the room has good
vibes you know all the people in there
are here to help the especially for new
traders you know you're all welcome
yeah and were you know here to here to
help you and you know eventually we're
probably will be a paid room but you
know right now we're doing this for free
wow so folks you know you can't be that
getting what get it get there while the
getting's good
would say oh yeah right now what right
now basically what we're doing is
building it up
yep yep awesome are so now that we have
a new administration has so to speak on
is your trading strategy going to be
different with this with this new
administration that we have now uh the
only thing that I'm changing is I didn't
make a couple changes of my online
portfolio i think out oh USA
ok and i did a JPM today okay and yeah
are you bullish on financials
overall people absolutely
JPM wells fargo goldman sachs and DEA
are going to go higher this year here in
my opinion there you heard it here first
alright january to get long is long and
as well as a oil stocks are going to
rebound
okay but I'm actually with you on that
one on you know it certain i don't i
don't want to pinpoint certain you any
particular nation but you know not every
nation involved in in the oil trade is
is known for keeping to their promises
so we may see we may see what what you
just mentioned with that may play out
very very soon sooner than people think
and i said i personally do will know
wells fargo and jpmorgan right so there
you go so obviously it's not just talk
you actually trade what you recommend
very good in the that's actually not for
treating that's for long to ok ok gotcha
gotcha are I wanted to ask how can the
average retail trader use tvix you v XY
and so on to their advantage
first thing you have to do is find a
broker i'll take it for shorting yeah
you know and once that that i do use our
Scottrade in etrade ok ok and the boom
and then you gotta like you have to
start watching the stock market to learn
yeah yeah you don't want to check price
and then once the stock market starts
going down in the dick starts rising
that you want to start putting money in
increments
I suggest like twenty-five percent
increments
ok ok so scaling and is is pretty key i
would say and and starting 12 fixes
typically once around 15 is good to see
ya
15 and then the next increment would be
17
ok at number 19 and then the last one
would be 23 for just the novice one for
the novice investor okay okay i'm more
of a conservative investor so i probably
wouldn't even start as far as shorting
it goes i wouldn't even start until it
was probably higher than 15 just because
sometimes the sometimes it goes months
without their yeah that's true that's
that that's how I am I don't mind I
learned that from you know Warren
Buffett guys like that they'll wait for
years literally for the right trade but
most people don't want to wait that long
so I I don't blame you for getting it
when the getting's good are speaking of
that why most traders I've heard ninety
percent of
traders fail why do you think that isn't
and is it fixable of the first thing
it's fixable for some people the first
thing is some people don't have the
training plan
yeah and they just use it like is the
cocina and then they get all excited you
know when a stock goes up and then they
buy and then when it goes down they sell
make these money and get all frustrated
yeah so basically they're doing
backwards what they need to do is they
need to buy when the market crashes
himself when it goes up with her on top
great advice there it's it you have to
do the opposite of what most people will
do because if most people are failing
don't do what they do do the opposite
and I talked and that's that's that's
the reason why short TV is the new be
ex-wife is so many people in other
groups are going along and losing all
their money on it and i'm just showing
him a different way how to succeed right
absolutely awesome awesome so I I
learned so much from this yet you know i
might start doing that maybe I should
get in when it's 15 because you know
these these vics products going along on
TV I x DX UV XY has not been kind to
belong to people on the long side so you
know maybe shorting it you know i I've
done it before but maybe I really should
start putting more focus on it
well you vxy in TX has more action
the XX ok but at the only a the only
problem is with the UVs why is there's
no shares too short a lot of times
ok so people or you know what's going on
that all the shares are good
gotcha gotcha that at the hardest thing
with the with my program Russian getting
there's just getting shares too short
that's interesting but would have
thought right that would be the toughest
part are ok ok and then i'm at i imagine
another
tough part would be just just the
emotional control because its volatility
itself is volatile when you agree
um exactly it's a it's not for everybody
that's not for you know the average
investor it's you have to have a little
gambling you
yeah well I guess we all do we have
otherwise you shouldn't be in the market
you should just buy it buy buy bonds or
you know put your money in checking
account right so cool cool are real
quick facebook you mentioned that what
is your outlook on that for 2017
oh well I don't know for how long you've
been following my pics but been on
facebook for Fears a few years now and
i've been recommending facebook since
been at 65 ok it that's been my top pick
the last two years and I know you've
done well with that
yeah so yeah I mean that I've actually
made the most money on facebook at the
any stock because it will eventually
just go up you know as long as you keep
it
yeah that that that's that's true i mean
III don't know what do you think of a
mark zuckerberg and his leadership is in
this for the long haul what are your
thoughts on that
yeah I think he's gonna be in there long
enough then he has replacement such as a
shell cember you know to take over even
if he doesn't view and then I think
Facebook is gonna skyrocket when they
announced the you know when they'll
split the stock split yeah very good
